our review of the week here on our t.v. russian investigators identify the man who committed the deadly suicide attack on moscow's damage out of the airport and say he was from the north caucasus in the wake of the blast a new anti terror alert system is being considered. let's. push this even. the key nuclear arms cuts deal between moscow and washington is come into force within days after the start treaty you see the final seal of approval from both sides. and the world is calling of egypt to put a stop to violence as the anti-government uprising kills over one hundred protesters with clashes and lootings raging across the country.

you're watching r t four pm here in moscow welcome to the program well they've identified the bomber now the investigators of the deadly terror attack on moscow's main airport are stepping up their hunt for the people who organized it it's almost a week since a twenty year old man from the north caucasus set off the bomb that doubled yet of all it claimed thirty five lives and over one hundred remain in hospital sarah furthur looks back on the day terror returned to russia's capital. four thirty pm on the twenty fourth of january a suicide bomber delays apart the packed arrivals hall at russia's busiest airports . my first thought was to get away a lot of people willing motionless even more people were being piled up near the

first aid area some world already dead they were dragged away a horrible picture. and i looked at my watch and then flash and i passed out when i woke up there was a ringing in my ears it was a sour smell everything in ashes everyone is groaning three or four men were piled up on top of me as they want to regulate above me it was wounded in the chest she took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people from many nationalities . added we need this golden koos then just to to marry the mother of his child correll buckhalter shelves wife watched him die in front of her on the airport floor around the world families now grieving the days who were saved brutally killed. you're going to. have some very very serious just. very tiresome start perforation the work of their daughter

very well for there was a true. story for. our part sometime. very soon. investigators say they've now identified the man responsible but haven't yet released the name of. the russian investigators and security services have identified the suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device stuffed with metal element at moscow's domodedovo airport on monday it was a twenty year old man from russia's north caucasus although investigators know the terrorist name we're not going to disclose it now as we're currently working to establish the organizers and accomplices of this crime north caucuses separatist clique some extremists have been responsible for a similar deadly attacks in russia the twin bombings at the mosque a match a less than a year ago they carried out by a terror group. this attack has once again raised serious questions about the

counterterrorism methods in russia and the airport transport authorities and the police have come into heavy criticism yet the russian response has been one of resilience just hours after the attack flights had redeemed and people have been visiting the hospitals today in eight bloods sears rick dorsey were sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees little iran russia is aware of its place in the world russia will fulfill its obligations towards its citizens and the world community unfortunately no state in the world is a major terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can happen at any time anywhere in the world there is no universal remedy against this evil but one thing we can say for sure our success and. solidarity very. inefficient day of mourning both president medvedev and prime minister putin

attended services all religions uniting to commemorate days he died in the attacks . continue to be laid at the site of the blast is a poignant reminder that in the war on terror it's once again ordinary people who are on the front line in a scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for action and that's the international community to stand united a work together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. well there's been a huge reaction to the airport bombing all around the world u.k. based aviation expert chris says it was a deliberate attack on for a nurse coming to russia. well of course this is the major gateway for international airlines flying into moscow it is the favored airport. one house to ask a question whether because of that fact because many international visitors

to russia pass through the airport. you know the question has to be whether this was primarily the target in other words targeting the economic well being of russia as well as those people who are traveling in the aviation assets russian authorities are now looking into security lapses a double jet of ah that let the suicide bomber reach his target but as i've bennett reports monday's blast also triggered a wider debate on whether such attacks can actually be prevented. as the dust settled the blame game began dahmer dead of a took the rap from russian authorities with a number of airport officials sacked by the international observers made more worrying conclusions the awful truth is is that there is no way to stop to terrorists in any capital on the bases you have to there are certain things you

have to do especially after a time but ultimately it's very very hard to protect all transport hubs in the capital city security at domodedovo has now been increased mandatory metal detectors and baggage x. rays accompany every entrance to the building this answers one question but poses another we're not actually allowed to film inside the airports anymore since security's been stepped up but one of the problems with the new stringent checks here is that a queue of people build up just inside the airport presents exactly the sort of targets they're trying to avoid these pictures were filmed covertly around fifty people are packed into a tiny space with queues ten minutes long before the explosion security here was no different to most other international airports only israel's ben gurion airport is considered more secure than any other with vehicle checkpoints fingerprint scanners

and compulsory passenger interviews but such resource intensive measures aren't possible at larger airports domodedovo handled twenty two million passengers last year double that of been good in so what's the answer in the first call if you want to promote security the second object you want to facilitate the flow of commerce and the third is you probably want to protect individual privacy and the question and i would pose is where in the middle of the triangle do you want to make a law in or for russia's parliament it's about security this week the state duma gave preliminary approval to new anti terror warnings there. modeled on the u.s. system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven. just look how much we needed this system and later the drama did of attack what everyone is saying is that there was no relevant information and now according to the war we will have to inform the society about the threats facing russia's determination in fighting terrorists has

never been questioned but its methods. now enhanced the system to make sure it works harder than it's. moscow. the demo dead of a tragedy was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation at the world economic forum in davos but the other subjects at stake for russia at the meeting of the world's financial power players will be all the details coming up. and warsaw used to challenge moscow's findings of last year's fatal plane crash that killed polish president lech kaczynski but. finally settled the debate. russia and the u.s. are about to begin cutting their strategic atomic arsenals the new start agreement between the world's biggest nuclear powers is due to come into force within days after it was approved by the russian parliament this week. explains.

after more than a year of hard line negotiating and ten more months of internal dispute it's finally done moscow and washington are stripping down their nukes first the state duma and then the federation council gave the bill the green light now that it's signed by the president only a formal exchange of ratification documents is left before the new start comes into force for the next ten years many hope it will not only restrain the two nuclear superpowers but become an example for others to follow this first of all is about the security of the united states and the security of russia this is about unwinding the excesses of the cold war this is about bringing both countries back to a same level of nuclear weapons because we reach really insane levels during the cold war i think it will have a real international implications and affect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of the restart of the delusions between moscow

and washington the deal was initially backed by both presidents but it didn't come easy most of the us republicans fell into opposition demanding amendments and the internal disputes stretched for months before president obama finally pushed a deal through the congress ended up making two so-called special statements securing washington's right to modernize its remaining strategic arms and insisting the deal would not affect america's missile defense plans but the statements are non-binding meaning they will not affect the actual implementation of the deal the original text remained untouched but unfortunately for the first time to the republic. in the war against three d. which is the rather strange but i think it was. a bomb and in most of the obama administration and basically i don't think that was so much of it three do russian deputies also made non-binding special states. legally

linking offensive and defensive weapons which was one of the main stumbling points in the negotiations secured moscow's right to step out of the agreement if it feels threatened by u.s. missile defense plans in europe and stressed statements previously made by the us congress do not free washington from its obligations they hope that the coming years will show that both americans and russia. show responsibility in fulfilling these obligations and that will create a new spirit of mutual confidence and trust the new start is not the first such agreement between moscow and washington the first two were signed in one thousand nine hundred one and in ninety three but neither managed to bring russia and the u.s. to schools it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors of opportunity also moving forward on the russia's w t o accession america is very supportive but

it's not enough we have to have more time as we have to have more docking mechanisms we have to have more bridges the more dependent we are the better it is for our future a future which has become a little clearer the exchange of the ratification documents officially enforcing the new start could happen as soon as the fourth of february even though the treaty is set to reduce the number of strategic arms by over one third of it still leaves both the nuclear superpowers with enough warheads to blow the entire planet into a different solar system so perhaps it's not numbers that the new start is all about but trust by reducing the number of strategic arms russia and the united states are in forcing their strategic partnership at least for the next decade you've got us going off r t moscow. both russia and the us ratified the same treaty but included different requirements paul ingrassia from the british american security information council says both moscow and washington want to reserve their

right to self-defense and the worst case scenario. in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these interpretations i think both sounds as if they are contradictory but they are both accurate in the sense that there is clearly a link in the preamble of the treaty between defensive and offensive forces and. russian duma is quite correct point the us senate has nothing legal preventing the americans from developing in the south of france. the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should should they deem their security to be threatened. and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's not that they are ratifying two separate treaties the same treaty is that in the end i think it's

quite right to say that this is the first step in a very long process of confidence building every so. anti-government protesters in egypt are ramping up the pressure on embattled president hosni mubarak as violence rages on the sixth day of the uprising there more than one hundred people have now been killed as the army struggles to restore order or the country has shut its border with the gaza strip and jab a local transmission of the al jazeera news network artie's polls leader reports from the egyptian capital cairo. in the early hours of this morning ten people were killed while trying to break into the interior ministry at the same time fouls of prisoners have broken out of jails around the country among them are muslim extremist muslim militants are receiving reports that some of them haven't really made their way back to palestine as a result the egyptian government has closed its border with gaza the real sense you get from being here is the sense of normal isness the police have completely abandoned the city it's firmly in the hands of the army and what this means is that

you have these vigilante groups that have broken into police stations many of them are now armed they have ammunition there are people standing guard in front of their homes the protesters are still out on the streets the city remains in a lockdown the protesters say they're going no way until mubarak himself steps down the egyptian president has sacked his government at the same time has appointed a vice president as well as a new prime minister who is tasked with forming a new government but speaking to protesters say they say that this will go no way to pacify him and addressing their concerns the international community particularly european countries in the united states has called on the ballot to implement reforms and to refrain from violence there have been protests and demonstrations around the world particularly with egyptian showing support for their families and their friends back home there were some wiki leaks documents that came to light some of them were throwing to cables as far back as two thousand and seven showing that while in the public light the american administration has

been supporting mubarak privately it's been supporting his opposition and this was raised many questions particularly among analysts who are now asking just how spontaneous these demonstrations in fact were not. in the u.k. behind the recent events in africa i don't believe in spontaneous revolutions when hundreds of millions of people come out into the streets at the same time. there's been. to their standards of living for these demonstrations the needs. support. for the foreign secret service. many of the experts are saying that these demonstrations were in part filled by what we saw earlier this month but that it's still too soon to say whether the dip position there for president is going to be the same conclusion that is reached here in egypt the problem here is that there is no unified opposition voice what we're seeing on the streets is a lot of people come together in defiance against mubarak but that opposition is

fragmented the largest opposition group here in egypt is the muslim brotherhood and they've been careful not to hijack these demonstrations they don't want them to be seen as islamised they believe that the people have very real grievances that need to be addressed and one of the opposition leaders perhaps to emerge as mohamed el baradei he is the former head of the international atomic energy agency he has said that he is prepared to hit an interim government of course to do so and he is no longer under house arrest. polis we're reporting there from cairo well you can read more on all our stories at our website that's our dot com and here's what's on line for you right now media monopoly several large corporations dominate t.v. news in the us are beginning to doubt whether they're being given an unbiased coverage or find out where else they're turning to to stay informed. and st petersburg is renowned for its architecture and history so why this

a local mayor want to strip the city of its historic status will get the answer at r.t.e. dot com. while political voices in warsaw continue to question the findings of the investigation into last april's presidential plane crash in western russia new evidence has now come to light a polish journalist has alleged that the plane could only have diverted to a backup airport if lech kaczynski himself gave the order as archy's got that he knows a lot of the reports polish officials responses to the claim have been contradictory . forced to land according to one article in a russian newspaper that was the cause of this man's plane crash which killed the polish president his wife and most of poland's political elite but the decision according to the papers are not a source was it made by the pilots or air traffic controllers the banner reverting to a backup airport was allegedly put in effect for the president himself one polish journalist

whose name is not disclosed for o.b.'s reasons said that the special every asian regiment that flies v.a.p. passengers received a secret instruction which said the plane could dive only with permission from its main passenger. the rules state that the pilots priorities however should never have changed whether such instructions existed or not. maybe could enforce a rule you but i don't want to know about it because according to every existing rule and regulation the group has the flight until the point lands of the pilot and not the president is in charge about every decision. poland is of course vehemently denying even the possibility of such instructions exist. for. this information was for me on believable from the beginning when i ordered it to be checked and i've already received one hundred percent information but such an instruction did not exist neither internal nor general. this statement however would have carried

a lot more weight if it wasn't contradicted by the government spokesman. and this is obvious that there are internal regulations in indonesia the head instructor which regulates the flights of the most important people in the country. and the confusion doesn't stop here. or your. pilot had to back up their ports of minsk in v.t. in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because we typically wasn't even working that day. the official investigation found pilot error was to blame despite mounting evidence poland remains intent on pursuing its own investigation into the crash and trying to prove that the russian air traffic control was also responsible actions some say are only for political leverage and of the country's parliamentary elections polish aviation experts agreed with the investigation

report and its findings and unless the politicians are willing to do the same instead of trying to shift the blame game voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position. cashin is our r.t. moscow. russia has reaffirmed its ambition to set itself up as a global financial center the country's leaders also promised a better business climate and greater transparency at the annual world economic forum in davos which is now wrapping up well the russian delegation presented members of the global market with a detailed plans promising to share risks and costs they had of the world trade organization said he believes two thousand and eleven will be the year of russia joins its ranks building a common economic space with the e.u. is also among moscow's top targets while many of the world's largest companies are already operating in the country and among them is b.p. which recently sealed a multi-billion dollar stock swap with oil giant last year archy's daniel bushell

spoke to b.p. c.e.o. robert dudley who said the deal is beneficial for both sides as well as a model for future cooperation. i think it's a very good good deal for b.p. i think it's a good deal for us now i mean it's a watershed deal in the international oil industry i think it's good for russia this cross holding between two companies that have aligned interests is is a very good thing i think it's a harbinger of things you know in the decades ahead between the international oil companies and national how important is the. new oil production strategy i think the arctic has great potential you look at the maps in russia i think it's going to be something that's great for russia good for the companies involved in the course of b.p. we're very very excited about it could new finds hope to maintain oil production levels if you look out to the year twenty thirty the growth in oil production will be fairly limited its value though will be high the world will need forty percent

more energy by twenty thirty it's going to do something the world needs how would you summarize b.p.'s new strategy going forward well i'd probably say three three ways one we are deeply embedded in safety risk management everything we do. in the company we're going to meet our commitments we need to rebuild trust back in the company and then our strategy going forward to rebuild the value for shareholders in b.p. and the future prospects with ross not just part of it where is b.p. now in the gulf the gulf of mexico oil spill well we have many many commitments to meet there we've got a long way to go to rebuild the trust there so we haven't put it behind it where we're deeply embedded in the learnings from that experience and cross country company in terms of what we do everywhere around the globe. well that was robert dudley the c.e.o. of b.p. and meanwhile on the sidelines at davos president medvedev who spearheaded the russian delegation spoke exclusively to bloomberg television you can watch the full interview in about ten minutes time here on r.t.
